your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.

of your fathersº
together,º
saithºº
the LORD,º
whichº
have burned incenseºº
uponº
the mountains,º

me uponº
the hills:º

their formerº
workº
intoº
their bosom.º

saithºº
the LORD,º
Asº
the new wineº
is foundºº
in the cluster,º

Destroyºº
it not;º

a blessingº
[is] in it: soº
will I doºº

sakes,ºº
that I may notº
destroyºº
them all.º

bow downºº
to the slaughter:º

hear;ºº
but didºº
evilº
before mine eyes,º
and did chooseºº
[that] whereinº

not.º

the formerº
troublesº

they are hidºº
from mine eyes.ºº

in allº
my holyº
mountain,º
saithºº
the LORD.º
